Jaasthi Kahi.. Swalpa Sihi..

Yes. that was what 2008 for me. More bitter.. Little sweet. 2008 was more depressing to me compared to 2007. The year end was even more worse. Well, some lessons are always learned in a hard way. Lets not discuss about the bad things that happened to me. There were few good things too..

• I went to Bangkok this year and stayed there a whole fortnight.
• H1b Visa got initiated and petition got approved too. However, stamping postponed till now due to some .. you know ^^^^ reasons.
• Made a lot of good real nice friends in InfyBLOGS. This is one of the best  thing that happened to me in my Infy career.
• Became hyper active on twitter. It is addictive. It is crapville. It is knowledge sharing platform. There are many definitions for it. If you haven’t tried it yet, try it once. But caution.. either you get it or you will not.
• Professionally improved a lot according to my team expectations but not as much as I had wished. I yet to gain technical expertise on many areas that i daily work.
• Music became part of my life. I got introduced to diversed music by fellow friends. I bought Sennheiser PX 100. Music controls me now. It has power to change my emotions. It heels me. I yet to listen/discover hidden gems of different part of world music.
• Joined gym but gave up after a week. I have become more fat now compared to last year. Fitness was in 2008 year resolution and it will be continued this year also.
• Had 3 days Hyderabad Trip. Hyderabad is one of nice tourist attraction. I totally loved Golconda Fort.
• Started swimming and learning guitar but had to stop temporarily due to shortage of time and bangkok trip. will start both again.. thats for sure. One thing i learnt after joining guitar classes is ‘guitar is not the easiet instrument to play’. If you have that in mind, give it a try.
• I had Lasik operation for my eyes. Now, no more glasses for me. Eye operation was in my to-do list for last 3 years. It took 3years for me to fulfill it. It was postponed several times till decemember.
• Decemember was the most depressing month for me. I was disturbed a lot. I never expected that i will become so weak emotionally. I will not write anything about it. I hope this new year 2009 brings a smile on my face.

Happy New year to everyone

Welcome 2009 !!!
